University of Chicago WeeklySingle Copies10 Cents. VOL. I-No. 13CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 28, 1893.J\ FRIEND INDEED.Martin J\. Ryerson Relieves a Great Need of theUniversity.On Tuesday last a special meeting of the Trusteeswas held at 1212 Chamber of Commerce. The follow­ing self-explanatory letter was read:'To the Board of Trustees of th e University of Chicago:GENTLEMEN:-Recognizing the University's need of alarge fund with which to meet the exceptional expensesof its organization and the pressing demands for gen­eral improvements and for an equipment in keepingwith its endowment.I propose, in order to assist it in securing such afund, to give to the University, $100,000 on conditionthat an additional $400,000 be subscribed by respon­sible persons before the first day of May, 1893, andthat all other subscriptions be made without otherconditions than those herein contained and be payableone half on May I, 1893 and the balance on AugustI, 1893.' ,Respectfully yours,MARTIN A. RYERSON,It is needless to say that this generous and well­conditioned offer was a great relief to the band of menwho are watching over the initial year of our Univer­sity. As President of the Board of Trustees Mr.Ryerson has felt more than anyone the pressingneeds of the University. Although rich in endow­ment funds, our great institution is nevertheless poorin provision for actual running expenses, and the factofher reputation for wealth is the greatest factor indelaying subscriptions for her actual and pressingnecessities. The nobility of the giver stands outmore clearly when it is considered that this money isdonated for no special purpose and will build no per­manent monument to the donor. Mr. Ryerson, andthose who are to contribute to this general fund,deserve the whole gratitude of the present studentsand officers of the University from the fact that theircontributions are so entirely unselfish.A few of-the purposes to which this $500,000 mustbe applied are as follows: The University campuswas a piece of raw land only a few weeks ago. Itmust be drained, filled, graded, improved with walksand driveways, lighted and beautified. The forty-twohundred feet of streets surrounding it must be im­proved at large expense. Sewers must be built, waterintroduced, gas brought in, the roadways paved and sidewalks laid; and all these, things that cannot bedeferred. Suitable quarters and equipments must beprovided for the physical training of the students.Provisions must be made to make the general libraryavailable for use. If real University work is to bedone, large sums must be at once expended for booksfor the departmental libraries. Great scientific de­partments have been established but it is not possible toconduct these, without adequate apparatus. Buildingsfor scientific purposes are being provided, but thereare no funds for apparatus to fill them, except thoseprovided by Sidney A. Kent's liberality to supply theChemical Labratory. A central power plant must beprovided for heating, lighting and ventilating themany buildings. For all these great buildings furn­ishings must be secured. These are some of theoutline necessities, and it is easily seen that they areurgent. Mr. Ryerson's appreciation of the apparentfutility of impressing outside givers with these greatneeds has undoubtedly led him to take the initiativein the matter and strive to call out their attention andtheir pocket books.Mr. Ryerson has now contributed nearly $300,000to the University. When the addition to the campuswas made, he gave his check for $25,000 to make thefirst payment on the purchase. When the BerlinLibrary was bought, he made a new contribution ofnearly $12,000. When the critical point was reachedin. the million-dollar effort, he cabled from Paris asubscription of $150,000, which, coming at the sametime with a similar one from Silas B. Cobb, converteda desperate undertaking into an assured success.As president of the Board he has devoted his timeand thought and labor unreservedly to the interests ofthe University. Feeling deeply the urgency of itsneed of a fund for general purposes, he has now madethis new subscription of $100,000. In doing this hehas been wholly self moved. Mr. Ryerson first madeknown his purpose to the Board at a special meetingheld Friday. It was done at the close of the session,and in an informal way. It can be understood, how­ever, that the splendid proffer electrified the Boardand filled all hearts with new courage and hope andpurpose. The difficulties of the new undertaking arefully appreciated by the trustees. It has. only oneprecedent, the raising of the million dollars last year.It will be as great an achievement now to raise $400,-000 in ninety days as it was then to raise $1,000,000.2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.A Scene in the Himalayas.On a bright April morning in r888, in companywith several young men, I began a very pleasant,though somewhat lengthy, journey from the city ofMoradabad, in the central provinces of India, to thesnow-capped Himalaya mountains.The scenery, though enchantingly beautiful atmany points in the journey, dwindles into insignifi­cance, and is almost forgotten when once a picture ofthe everlasting snows of Everest and his companionsis thrown upon the traveler's eye.And so, as we were struggling up the narrow, zig­zag road, about daybreak one morning, a bend in theway opened to view one of the most delightful scenesit is possible to depict. Pos sible to depict I said; 'butthe possibility is infinitely beyond my powers of de­scription. I can only daub and smear at somethingwhich might be called (and I expect it will be called)a verbal misrepresentation of a delightful picture.Let the reader imagine himself in the midst of agigantic valley, at the very bottom of which a riverrolls and tumbles its sparkling waters; here rushingpast tremendous boulders, there it glides in stillnessover smooth shelves of rock, past the many-coloredtrees, whose beautiful branches, moved by the gentlebreeze, how their graceful thanks for the nourishmentthey receive from its bounties.Following this stream in the direction from whichits waters flow, the eye of the traveller is arrestedevery instant by some new glory in the scene beforeit. First there is the frame of the picture, the lowerpart of which is made up of the glittering torrents ofa distant waterfall, which looks like a mass of moltensilver flowing from the mouth of an impossibly largefurnace. The rays of the rising sun strike the sur­face of the stream and give a bright red glow towhat seems to be the interior of the furnace.The almost perpendicular hills to the right give usa side of the frame, covered with dark green drapery,the somber effect of which is relieved here and thereonly by the bright spots in its surface, caused by thegentle, but irregular, touches of the sun's dawningrays. On the left the frame is composed of a sue­cession of shelve-like hills, with a few tall pine trees,which seeem to be superintending the development oftheir children, the litte pines, and the variety of othertrees which surround them. Then, as the eye liftsitself to the top of the frame, it beholds an indescrib­ably beautiful vision of clouds. These exquisitelyinterweave the colors which most please the eye:pink, purple, bright red, and pure white in abund­ance.The air has now made visible the celestial extrem­ities of the picture itself. For there, like a stupen­dous tent, the top of which is bent over to the north,stands Mount Everest. At first one is unable to determine its real outline, but the moving clouds soonreveal that which is permanent. As the eye lingers,on the scene, one soon becomes aware of theexistence of range after range of snow-covered moun­tains, leaving Everest, lofty and defiant, in his supe­rior exaltation. Some of what at first seemed to be:clouds now appear to be, and really are, "the snowyranges. "But the most wonderful thing of all is not the,greatness and majesty of Everest, or the eternalermine with which he and his companions are clo thed ;but the puzzling diversity, the innumerable combina­tion, and the instantly varying shades and colors,which rivet the gaze of the beholder, and make himexclaim, with the psalmist, "Surely there is a God."JOSEPH PAU�.MUTE COMPANIONS.There they stand in martial order,Wrapped in silence almost grim;Faces many, .garments various,Short, and tall, and stout, and slim.Some are clothed in tawney skin-coats,Some in linen, blue or green.Some are dull, and worn, and dirty,Some are bright in golden sheen.Some are serious, solemn, weighty,Full of thought and earnestness;Some are jolly, full of laughter,'Good for souls when labors press.Some converse in well-known language,(Strange, but true, although they're dumb}Some have come from far-off countries, .And from by-gone ages some.But they all are ready, waiting,Answering mutely all our looks,Neither careless nor officious-You have guessed them-they are books.S.

A tennistourney open to all comers, with twenty-two chal­lenging contestants, begins on Wednesday at I p. m.,.and will be played on the new court in the gymna­.sium. The court, by the way, is of regulation size,.and is laid off in red painted lines on the wooden floor'.of the gymnasium. The players in the first mid­win ter tournament are as follows:PRELIMINARIES.,Connor vs. Hutchins.Todd vs. Neil..Stowell vs. Moffat.Allen, C. W., us. Mc-Gillivray.Tolman us, Tony. BYES.Chadbourne vs. Willimar.Bliss 'lJS; Brewer.Allen, A. M., 7JS. Connoror Hutchins.Clarke 'lJS. Dudley.Keen vs. Hewitt.Tunnell vs. Manchester.The four players in the first round of this tourney,together with Prescott, Lansingh, Torrey, and Pike,the four men who played in the semi-finals last fall,.will make up the first eight of the University tennisteam for the coming year. Later on, by means of a·second consolation tournament, it is expected to in­crease this Dumber to twelve. The possible andprobable winners this week are Dudley, Manchester,Chadbourne and Allen.The base-ball nine, notwi ths tanding all previousireports to the contrary, will be no second-class clubby the time the season for swallows and fowls comesaround again.

The young ladies seemed to enjoy it exceed­ingly, but the. boys for some, unexplained reason werevisibly "rattled," much to the astonishment of thesteady Captain Stagg.Stagg will catch for the nine this spring.Uhiversity Notes,Lorado Taft, of the University, will begin a courseof Extension lectures on the Art of the World'sColumbian Exposition, at Evanston.Olive J.

Both sides have had their sayyet perhaps one generalization may be indulged in­and this-that as in the case of the Commons, a goodorganization of students can combine to cheapen theprice of anything in general use among those students.It is questionable if books be not of as much a neces­sity to us as bread. Why then can we not have abook Commons as well as a bread Commons? I t istrue that the organization of a communism in foodtakes less business ability than the organization of acommunism in books for this reason-that publishersare less numerous and better syndicated than arebutchers and bakers. The evidence against the U ni­versity Press does not expose any enormous or unusual profits as such things go. It is useless to growl atthe University Press. The breath expended in thatgrowl might be thrice more effectively used in agitat­ing a student's organization for cheapening prices bya differentiaton of the middleman.** *SOUR FACED Puritans of the sixteenth centuryshould rise from their graves and attend a socialgathering of nineteenth century Young Men's andYoung Women's Christian Associations.

Here is a man who is willing to give forneeds whose satisfying bears no material evidence ofstone and cement. It may be said to others who willgive for this same purpose-that they will at least findan exceptionally warm place in the hearts of this gen­eration, whatever they may lack of visual monuments.for the eyes of posterity.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Academic College,The Academic College has an enrolled membershipof ninety-seven names. After the beginning of thenext college year this number should be doubled ortrebled, for there are only about thirty who go into theUniversity College before October, and their loss willbe more than made up by the influx of first yearacademicians. The object aimed at in the formation,of the College seems almost already attained. When thewords Freshmen and Sophmores are used, it is in akind of apologetic manner, as if the words naturallyimplied hostility between the classes as of yore. Therehas never been any sound reason for such hostilities.The only difference at the most between a Freshmanand a Sophomore is simply a difference in the degreeof verdancy-that verdancy that gradually changesthrough the college years until it reaches its culmina-• tion of delightful mellowness in that ideal of perfection,the post graduate student.Prof. Stratton gave another of his mteresting lec­tures to the Physics Club at Science Hall on Friday,the zoth.

Vincent speak onthe subject: "Things Hard to Understand in theBible." Dean Judson conducted the opening exer­cises, and Miss Isabel Thompson favored the audiencewith an excellent vocal solo.The Bishop's address was practical and to the'point. "The Bible," he said, "was written long ago,in a distant land, under a different civilization, in adead language, and the original documents have allbeen lost. It is no wonder, then, that we have diffi­culty in understanding it. There are three dangersto be encountered in studying the Bible, first, of dis­couragernent: second, of indifference; and third, ofopposition." His advice was to first make a personalsurrender of one's self to God, who is purported to bethe author of the book, and then study the Bible as youwould any other book, rationally and thoroughly. Itmust be studied in its entirety and with a view tofinding out the substance of doctrine. The Bishopthought that if anyone who was inclined to be a scepticwould spend his Sabbaths in a proper manner and inhonestly endeavoring to find out the truth, he wouldnot long remain in doubt.At the close of the address Miss Thompson sanganother solo and the Bishop pronounced the benedic­tion.Convocation Echoes.There are thirty-one professors, sixteen associateprofessors, twenty-six assistant professors, twelve in­structors, nine tutors, three assistants, six readers,eight docents and sixty-one fellows.* * *The number giving instruction in philosophy isfour; in political economy, six; political science, two;history, twelve; social science and anthropology, four;comparative religion, one; Semitic languages, five;Biblical and patristic Greek, two; Sanskrit, one; Greek,six; astronomy, two; physics, three; chemistry, seven;geology, six; biology, eight; physical culture, two;elocution, one.* * *The professors represent, as far as concerns theiracademic training, Amherst, four; Beloit, three; Uni­versity of Berlin, one; Brown, seven; Cambridge,England, three; the old University of Chicago, three;Colby, two; Denison, five; University of California,two; University of Edinburg, one; Goettiugen, two;Harvard, six; Heidleberg, one; Johns Hopkins, one;Michigan, five; Rochester, four; University of Penn­sylvania, two; Williams, three; Yale, eleven; andalmost every important college of this country andmany of the foreign universities are represented byone or more men.
